Check the full list of skaters and live results for the Qualifiers. The monitor on the side of the #BoardrBus will also have live updates as scores come in and Jams get updated.
Location Changed to Stoner Skate Plaza
Due to gub'ment permitting issues at Sheldon, the new site for The Boardr Am Los Angeles is Stoner Skatepark. The date and full schedule have not changed at all!
Hotels in the Area
The Boardr Bus RV needs serious parking room, so we have to get a hotel pretty far out, but here are some nearby Stoner that would work.
